Had the same problem using the e169 from virgin but got it to work by manually editing the connection settings and changing the APN and turning off CHAP.
The mobile broadband setup wizard puts in the APN as "VirginInternet" but the Virgin website says it is "VirginBroadband", once this was changed manually and the CHAP options turned off for authentication it works. -- Virgin Australia Broadband 3G cannot connect in Intrepid Beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280490 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
